State Wide Area Network

In order to get financial and social benefits of information technology the State Wide Area Network (SWAN) has been envisaged. The project is to provide bedrock of communication through voice, data and video throughout the State and is an effective tool for implementation of e-governance projects. The SWAN is to ensure the dissemination of Government services and information anytime and anywhere.

It is a reliable network for vertical and horizontal connectivity throughout the State and will reduce the cost of communication between government departments at different locations and will provide secure network infrastructure to enable electronic transfer of sensitive data, payments etc. with improved capacity for disaster management.

The MPSWAN is a highway of connectivity between G2G, G2C, G2B providing round the clock connectivity of minimum 2 Mbps between 51 districts and 399 blocks/tehsils. The key highlights of SWAN are:

Last mile connectivity through wireless wherever wired line is not available.

Guaranteed uptime of 99.5% at district & 95% at blocks/tehsils.

Power backup at all locations.

As on date a total 399 nos. of PoPs have been commissioned and more than 7000 numbers of horizontal connections have been provided to various departments like Transport, Treasury, UADD, Electricity Board, Excise, Commercial Tax, Jila & Janpad Panchayat,Health Services, VCR, LSK, RSK, IGRS, CCTNS, Court, Jail etc. Very soon, Madhya Pradesh will embark on the ambitious Bharat Net project for delivering broadband connectivity at Panchayat level.
